About ConXport Elevated Plus Maze

Elevated plusMaze test is one of the most simple and widely used apparatus to study anxietyand anxiolytic response of almost all type of anti-anxiety agents on smallrodents.

Exposure ofthe animals to novel maze alley evokes an approach-avoidance conflict which isstronger in open arm as compared to enclosed arm. It is based upon rodents(rats and mice) natural aversion for high and open space and prefer enclosedarm and, therefore, spend greater amount of time in enclosed arm.

When animalsenter open arm, they freeze, become immobile, defecate and show fear-likemovements.

The plasma corticallevel is also reported to be increased, as a true reflection of anxiety.

Majoradvantages of this test procedure are

(a) It issimple, fast and less time consuming,

(b) No priortraining or noxious stimuli (sound or light) is required.

ELEVATEDPLUS MAZE is

v Anxiety testing system for rats & mice.

v Fourarms are arranged in the shape of a cross.

v Twoarms have side walls and an end wall (Closed arms). The two other arms haveno walls (Open arms).

v Closedarm walls can be individually inserted into guide rails.

v TheOpen arms are surrounded by small ledges to prevent the animal from fallingfrom the maze.

v Themaze is fastened to a light weight support frame.

v FourInfra red sensor and transmitters are fitted in each arm to monitor the entryand exit of the animal.

v Thecentre part of the maze is designed in such manner that whenever animal is placedon the centre table, time gets registered.

v Providedwith a Control Box to monitor the activities.

v Entries in the arms are registered whenmice come out

Versatile Design for Animal Behavior Research

This mazes classic plus-shaped design with open and closed arms provides an effective setup to measure anxiety, memory, and exploratory activity in rodent models. Sturdy construction, non-reflective surfaces, and safety features ensure accurate results while prioritizing animal welfare. The central platform allows smooth entry to each arm, making behavioral observations straightforward and reproducible.

User-Friendly Assembly and Portability

ConXports Elevated Plus Maze is engineered for convenience. Its modular design allows for quick assembly and disassembly, making it easy to relocate or store when not in use. The sturdy support legs elevate the structure to 50 cm, offering consistency across experiments while keeping the equipment portable and efficient for busy laboratory environments.

Hygienic and Durable Construction

Manufactured with powder-coated mild steel arms and a durable PVC floor, the maze is resistant to corrosion and easy to disinfect. The non-slip, non-reflective surfaces reduce animal distress and improve experiment reliability. Rounded corners and smoothed edges are incorporated to prevent injury, ensuring a safe, long-lasting solution for repeated behavioral assessments.

FAQs of ConXport Elevated Plus Maze:

Q: How is the ConXport Elevated Plus Maze assembled and dismantled?

A: This maze features a modular design with straightforward assembly and dismantling, allowing users to set it up or pack it away quickly for storage or transport without the need for specialized tools.

Q: What animals is this maze suitable for, and what studies can be performed with it?

A: The device is designed for laboratory rodents such as mice and rats. It is primarily utilized in anxiety behavior studies but can also be used to assess memory and exploratory behavior in preclinical research.

Q: When should I clean and disinfect the maze?

A: Cleaning and disinfection are recommended after each session or experiment to maintain hygiene, prevent cross-contamination, and ensure animal well-being. The PVC and powder-coated surfaces are washable and resistant to disinfectants.

Q: Where is the best place to use this maze within a laboratory setting?

A: It should be used in a quiet, temperature-controlled laboratory environment to minimize external stressors and distractions, ensuring the most reliable behavioral data from the test animals.

Q: What process does the maze use to evaluate rodent anxiety?

A: The plus maze leverages rodents aversion to open spaces; animals are observed as they explore both the open and closed arms. Time spent in each zone is indicative of anxiety or exploratory tendencies, making it a widely accepted behavioral assay.

Q: What are the safety features incorporated in the ConXport Elevated Plus Maze?

A: The maze is designed with rounded corners and smooth edges to minimize the risk of injury, and its non-slip surfaces further enhance animal safety during tests.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this particular maze model?

A: Researchers benefit from its easy maintenance, safe design, durable materials, and reliable measurements for anxiety-related behaviors, all while being free from the need for electric power and offering convenient portability.
